We are "the bands of Seymour" — three unique variety cover bands based in Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. Two of our members were founders of Portland's original Seymour band, who gigged around town in 1970-71. That band was freeze-dried in '72 and reconstituted in '91... and we've been at it ever since. All three band lineups include these three members:

• Jnana "Frogz" Sivananda (a.k.a. Paul Stanton): guitar, vocals
• Carlee Smith: vocals and percussion
• John "JD" Dalrymple: keyboard, guitar, vocals

Carlee, Frogz and JD (and programmed rhythm backup, produced by elves at Seymour Labs) offer you the most compact and economical combo, which we call the Seymour Express Trio with Carlee Smith.

And you can upgrade to a five-piece combo with live bass and drums. Depending on the musicians' schedules and your requirements, this will either be the Seymour Express Quintet (Bill Chapman, drums – Miles Stanton, bass) or the "classic pre-COVID lineup" of Seymour & Smith (Jim Badenoch, drums – Tim McCarthy, bass).

Each ensemble brings its own unique flavor. Talk to us about your requirements and we'll put together the perfect show for your gig.
